PRAISE AND REVIEWS
TANK Magazine
In 1984, Bettina Clahsen and Peter Gaechter founded the Gaechter+Clahsen photographic studio in Zürich, Switzerland. One of their most frequently shot subjects was the creations of hairdresser Elsässer Pour Dames and her “Cold War Kids” cuts, “five-finger” blow-drys and “Old Hollywood” coiffures. Collected here in the sleek, refined Fünf Finger Föhn Frisur, Gaechter and Clahsen’s photographs document the transformation of hairstyle trends in the late 20th-century, which seem to reflect the blasé liberalism of the time.
